New Esoteric P02 D02

To Colekat:

You're welcome. It is more like personal opinion based on personal taste and some experience. I would be glad if they are helpful in anyway.

To Guido :

If you buy a dedicated Esoteric transport to be paired with Rowland Aeris DAC, please tell me about your findings.

To Colekat:

As for the P01 VUK transport (list 42k, my deal was 30k) there is a huge loss of value. Now it is worth %25-30 of its value. That is why I recommend buying last possible gear possible or if an older design a used or demo piece.

If I End up liking D1, I will continue using p01 for some time. I will sell or trade in both D02 and D03 DACs.
As for The Vivaldi DAC I will do the same, but I will keep The D03 for SACD playback since dsd is only possible through USB or by using Vivaldi Transport.
As for the third option, if the winner is Soulution everything will go.

Hi Tom, happy new year to you and all! Sorry for the time out. Have been traveling for work then busy with family and more work... Need to read and do some catch up here. It is on fire all right. Congrats for the baby!

The 9500s I have them now all around the system. Fully powered by them. They are great PC all around. But the single place where the dif is just huge is in digitals. Like if they were designed for this gear. In amps and preamps they are great. But with the 3 digitals the gain is just incredible. I do recommend a listen in this aplication.

Also for those wanting the rgiht cable for the esoterics... Try the new 6300II. I changed my old 6300 from dac to preamp for a 6300II and it is also a great gain. Have not tey it in digital aplication but for sure something I will do.

Will reply to other posts next few days

All the best

Hi Eelii,

Welcome back. What is different in mk2 of 6300 versus the regular 6300 ?
If I am not mistaken the only change is better isolation. In which area or areas is it better ?
Same question goes for 9500 as well versus 9300 (assuming that you have heard it)
Happy New Year.
